Figure 30. Character 64 and its postulated states. Processus vocalis, composition: A, cartilage – 64.0; B, cartilaginous caudal half, ossified cranial half – 64.1; C, mostly ossified, with a cartilaginous base – 64.2; D, entirely ossified – 64.3. Stippled areas are cartilaginous tissue, non-stippled areas are calcified structures. A1/B1 elements are indicated. Syringes of (A) Melanopareia torquata (MCP 2588), (B) Liosceles thoracicus (MZUSP, uncatalogued), (C) Myornis senilis (QCAZ 3724), and (D) Furnarius rufus (MCP 1058) in lateral view (shown are the right side in A, B and D and the left side in C).
